In a heartwarming twist that blends the grit of hip-hop legacy with the unbreakable bonds of family, Master P made a beeline from the neon-lit triumph of ComplexCon to the stark confines of a Louisiana prison. Just days after leading No Limit Records to a resounding victory in a Verzuz battle against Cash Money Records, Percy “Master P” Miller visited his incarcerated brother, Corey “C-Murder” Miller, marking what insiders are calling a pivotal moment of reconciliation and renewed hope. Accompanied by family members including Silkk the Shocker and other close relatives, the visit underscores the enduring loyalty within the Miller clan, even as C-Murder continues to fight a life sentence handed down over two decades ago.
The Verzuz battle, held on October 25, 2025, at ComplexCon in Long Beach, California, was nothing short of a Southern rap renaissance. Master P, the architect of No Limit’s tank-top empire, squared off against Birdman and the Cash Money crew in a showdown that pitted two New Orleans powerhouses against each other. What began as a friendly rivalry quickly escalated into a cultural spectacle, drawing thousands of fans and celebrity guests. No Limit’s arsenal of anthems—think “Make ‘Em Say Uhh!” and “I’m a Soldier”—clashed with Cash Money’s platinum-plated hits like “Back That Azz Up” and “Bling Bling.” But it was the surprise appearances that sealed the deal.
Snoop Dogg, who famously jumped from Death Row to No Limit in 1998, rolled through like a West Coast cavalry, delivering a nostalgic verse on C-Murder’s 1999 banger “Down for My N***az.” Mia X, the undisputed queen of No Limit, commanded the stage with flawless flows, earning MVP nods from fans online. Silkk the Shocker brought the heat with his rapid-fire delivery, while Master P himself orchestrated the chaos like a general in camouflage. On the flip side, Juvenile and Mannie Fresh held it down for Cash Money, but the absence of Lil Wayne—amid his ongoing tour commitments—and Turk, due to lingering beef with Birdman, left some gaps. Social media erupted post-battle, with Reddit’s r/hiphopheads declaring No Limit the clear winner: “MVP = Mia X she didn’t miss a step but when Snoop pulled up it was a KO.” Elliott Wilson, in a pre-battle breakdown for Uproxx, had predicted No Limit’s edge, citing their raw presentation over sheer catalog depth.
As the confetti settled and champagne flowed for the victors, Master P’s thoughts turned inward. Instead of extending the party, he hopped a flight back to Louisiana, heading straight to the Elayn Hunt Correctional Center where C-Murder has been held since 2020. (Prior to that, he served time at the infamous Angola State Penitentiary.) The visit, confirmed by multiple sources including a heartfelt Instagram post from a family associate, included not just Master P but Silkk—another Miller brother and No Limit staple—and other relatives. Photos circulating on X (formerly Twitter) show C-Murder beaming behind the visitation room glass, surrounded by the faces he’s missed for years. One post from @blkcosmo captured the essence: “No Limit Family Reunion! Master P visited incarcerated brother C-Murder after his Verzuz triumph. A powerful moment of family loyalty that resonates.”
This reunion carries extra weight given the Miller family’s turbulent history. C-Murder, born Corey Miller on March 9, 1971, in New Orleans’ Calliope Projects, rose to fame as a cornerstone of No Limit Records. Signed by his older brother Master P in the mid-1990s, C-Murder dropped gritty street anthems like “Cadillac on 22s” and “Down for My N***az,” embodying the label’s soldier mentality. No Limit wasn’t just a record company; it was a movement that pulled the Millers—and countless others—out of poverty. At its peak in the late ’90s, the imprint churned out over 100 albums annually, grossing hundreds of millions. Master P’s business acumen turned tank logos into a cultural staple, signing stars like Snoop, Mystikal, and Fiend. C-Murder’s raw energy fit perfectly, making him a fan favorite and a symbol of the label’s unapologetic hustle.
But glory faded into tragedy on January 12, 2002. At the Platinum Club in Harvey, Louisiana, 16-year-old fan Steve Thomas was beaten and fatally shot during a chaotic brawl. C-Murder, then 30, was accused of firing the fatal bullet. His first trial in 2003 ended in conviction, but it was overturned due to prosecutorial misconduct—witnesses with criminal histories weren’t disclosed. A retrial in 2009 sealed his fate: guilty of second-degree murder, life without parole. C-Murder has maintained his innocence, claiming coercion of witnesses and pointing to new affidavits from 2018 where two key testifiers recanted, alleging police pressure. Federal courts upheld the conviction in November 2023, but appeals persist.
The case has fractured the family at times. In 2014, C-Murder penned a scathing prison letter accusing Master P of abandonment, citing unpaid support for his children and a lack of visits. Tensions peaked in 2020 when Master P publicly vented frustration over C-Murder’s “ungratefulness,” especially after the rapper praised ex-girlfriend Monica and Kim Kardashian for their advocacy efforts. Kardashian, fresh off her criminal justice reform wins like Alice Marie Johnson’s release, teamed with Monica to push for clemency. Master P, feeling sidelined despite his decades-long fight, declared he’d cut off financial support and visits: “The ATM, I’m pulling the plug off.” Monica clapped back on Instagram, urging the brothers to hash it out privately and noting her consistent visits.
Yet, blood runs thick. Master P has visited sporadically, like in 2018 when he posted about laughs, arguments, and reaffirming family ties at Angola. Romeo Miller, Master P’s son and C-Murder’s nephew, has echoed calls for unity: “Everything will work out… No matter how or who does it.” Recent photos from November 10, shared on C-Murder’s IG, show him with family, hinting at thawing relations.
The timing of this visit feels serendipitous. Verzuz, born from Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s pandemic-era IG Lives, has evolved into a platform for healing and hype. This No Limit-Cash Money clash wasn’t just beats; it was a nod to shared roots in the Crescent City’s projects. Both labels weathered storms—Cash Money’s Juvenile era minted millionaires, but internal beefs like Birdman’s Turk diss during the battle added spice. For Master P, 55 and semi-retired into business ventures like his P. Miller wine line, the win was vindication. But heading to prison next? That’s the real boss move.
Inside the visitation room, sources say the mood was electric. C-Murder, now 54, reportedly lit up hearing battle recaps—especially Snoop’s shoutout to his track. “He was hyped, talking like he was right there on stage,” one family friend shared anonymously. Master P brought stories of the crowd chanting No Limit slogans, while Silkk cracked jokes about old studio sessions. They discussed C-Murder’s ongoing appeals, bolstered by Kardashian’s lingering influence and a 2023 hunger strike highlighting prison conditions. “I’m still fighting this case. They gonna let me out eventually,” C-Murder told Revolt in 2023. The family prayed together, a ritual Master P credits for No Limit’s rise.
This moment ripples beyond the Millers. Hip-hop’s prison pipeline—think Mystikal’s recent stint or Turk’s no-show—highlights systemic issues. C-Murder’s story, chronicled in podcasts like Bloody Angola, exposes Louisiana’s harsh sentencing: life for a teen’s death in a club melee, with recanted testimonies ignored. Advocacy from stars like Kim K has spotlighted it, but family remains the anchor. As @polo_man404 posted on X: “Master P just crushed Cash Money on stage, but instead of popping bottles… he raced straight to Louisiana’s toughest walls.”
Fans are buzzing. On X, calls for #FreeCMurder spiked post-Verzuz, with one user noting, “Man Free C-Murder. They let him out…. It’s gonna be a riot.” The battle’s success—streamed to millions—could fund legal pushes. Master P, ever the mogul, hinted at a No Limit documentary tying the Verzuz to C-Murder’s plight.
In hip-hop, where beefs flare and fade, this reunion shines. It’s a reminder: success tastes sweetest shared, even through plexiglass. As No Limit soldiers chant, “We ain’t goin’ nowhere.” For C-Murder, freedom’s horizon gleams a bit brighter. The tank rolls on.
